Melissa Carne

Advice Support Specialist
DipFP

I'm a people person, so financial planning is the perfect profession for me. I get to talk to incredible, interesting humans every day and help them achieve the stuff that really matters to them.

I also enjoy the nitty-gritty of the financial planning world. It's such a buzz to see all the pieces of someone's financial life come together with complete clarity.

I'm a big sports lover - I watch pretty much any sport. I love reading, and really enjoy spending time with my partner, family, and friends.

What's your favourite quote?

I love both of these quotes:
"Do not take life too seriously, you will never get out of it alive!"
"Whatever you are doing, love yourself for doing it."

If you could have dinner with anyone dead or alive who would it be?

There are so many people, living and dead. Most of all though, I would love to have a dinner party with all of my grandparents in attendance because they all either passed before I was born, or before I had the wisdom to really appreciate them (and their views/knowledge) in the way that they deserved to be appreciated.

If you could live in any city in the world for a year, where would it be and why?

I would live in Copenhagen. It looks super idyllic, I don’t do well in the heat, and it is #2 on the world's most liveable cities.

What's your go-to karaoke song?

“Someone like you” Adele - this is more of a shower song - it would take some kind of miracle to get me on a stage to sing karaoke!!

What's the most adventurous thing you've ever done?

I am not overly adventurous unfortunately, although I do have some craziness planned in my future!
